Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Vice President, Mutale Nalumango has launched the national electronic governance plan aimed at embracing digital transformation for efficient and effective public service delivery. Ms Nalumango says digital technology is a catalyst to transform national economies and the global economy at large.<\/p>\n

Speaking during the launch of the national electronic government plan 2023-2026 in her virtual address today, Ms Nalumango said digital technology is the new normal for the country to foster economic development.<\/p>\n

She said government must move quickly towards the full utilisation of the digital economy, in its ambitious journey to become a prosperous middle- income country as espoused in the Eighth National Development Plan (8NDP).<\/p>\n

The Vice President observed that the national electronic governance plan is earmarked to accelerate digital transactions and bring quality services closer to the people.<\/p>\n

Ms Nalumango, further explained that the e-government agenda espoused in the plan embraces full digitalisation of vital government systems, processes and services to the business community and the citizenry.<\/p>\n

She said driving the public sector digital transformation agenda will require close collaboration with multiple stakeholders ranging from public bodies, the business community, and the private sector among others.<\/p>\n

Ms Nalumango also stated that the plan will transform and improve the issuance of digital national registration cards, which will in turn reduce duplication.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndeed, this launch of the national electronic government plan 2023-2026, will enhance service delivery to the public in every sector of the economy, this will make Zambia to become a prosperous middle- income country by 2030,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

And Smart Zambia National Coordinator, Percy Chinyama said the launch of the national electronic government plan, will promote transparency, and accountability in the public sector and statutory bodies.<\/p>\n

Mr Chinyama added that the launched electronic plan will provide an opportunity to the general public to monitor what government is doing for them through various digital platforms.<\/p>\n

He has since urged the media to deepen their understanding in digital matters, for them to be able to educate the public on the myriad strides government is making.<\/p>\n

Mr Chinyama, however, cautioned the media not to abuse the digital services that government has launched but highlight the positive impact it will bring to the people.<\/p>\n
